Said a small boy once
Asked: When will I grow up?
When will I see what grownups do see?
Inspired to come of age
He would act an older age
To be recognized is
Quite another mess
And mama used to say
Take your time young man
And mama used to say
Don't you rush to get old
And mama used to say
Take it in your stride
And mama used to say
Live your life
As the years were rushing by
He will cut down on his age
He will tell his girl of how it used to be
How his mommy past away
But this lines she would say
At the time
He couldn't understand
And mama used to say
Take your time young man
And mama used to say
Don't you rush to get old
And mama used to say
Take it in your stride
And mama used to say
Live your life
Your young son Joe don't hold on back
Do what you want to do
Now is the time for you to strive
For you to get better in what you are doing!
Now is the time for you to strive
For you to get better in what you are doing!
As a small boy once asked
When will I grow up?
When will I see what grownups do see?
Inspired to come of age
He would act an older age
To be recognized is quite another mess
Hey, mama used to say
Take your time young man
And mama used to say
Don't you rush to get old
And mama used to say
Take it in your stride
Mama used to say
Live your life
Live your life
Live your life
And mama used to say
Take your time young man
And mama used to say
Don't you rush to get old
And mama used to say
Take it in your stride
Mama used to say
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Woo
Woo
Mama used to say
Woo
Mama used to say
Woo
Mama used to say
Woo
Mama used to say hey
